Silence

Many people hate the silence
It makes them think
The more you think,
The more you hear,
The more you feel,
The more you believe,
The more faith you will have.
And with that faith, hope and expectations,
There will always be disappointment, failure and sadness
Depression, anger

They believe in filling the gap
Between the silence
Because without silence
They will not be forced to
Think
Hear
Feel
To hope and believe
To be constantly bracing for impact
Waiting for the collision.

As for me,
I prefer the silence.
Because in silence,
In silence I find peace.
